mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves never quote me on this or
i'll kill you, but, the only reason this hjolds true is because us nuttery about "encouraging" people and so on and so forth. in other cultures the opposite holds true.
Jere_Jones: The more time
I spend in here, the more
I realize that
I know exactly squat.
Jere_Jones: Why can't
I say "
I am not competent to create X.
I must improve."?
Jere_Jones: Seems to me that being incompetent is a transitional phase that must be passed through. The key is to minimize outside exposure to my incompetence while
I work through it?
deadweasel:
i'm just saying since we don't know the final outcome, assuming it ends at death is a big jump.
deadweasel: What if '
I' is not only the body/mind, what if there is a consciousness beyond this.
deadweasel: and if
I really know what the truth of that is.
deadweasel:
i'm aware of rabbit hole
I stuck my head it here, but not the formal proposition of it.
deadweasel: ThickAsThieves:
i'm just saying that the ignorance itself doesn't lead to comptence
pankkake: well, the ones
I've seen do it were fresh out of school
mircea_popescu: pankkake
i think that may be leftover from the old days of cobol horror.
pankkake: mircea_popescu: some programmers check twice, or allocate a variable twice, to be sure.
I'm not kidding.
mircea_popescu: im really looking forward to clauses like if
i ==== j then else if
i === j then else if
i == j then else if
i = j then.
mircea_popescu:
i shall now charge myself for self-zinging commentary a 5 atc tax.
ThickAsThieves: hey
i asked for no service, what are you a government?
Jere_Jones: Speaking of scams,
I have always thought, and the dictionary agrees with me, that a scam was defined by dishonesty. BingoBoingo made a comment that a scame is defined by "not paying". Whether not paying is due to malice, incompetince, or a natural disaster is irrelevant.
ThickAsThieves: "So if
I buy some shares in NeoBee from havelock now will
I get more dividends than if
I buy the shares after the 23rd of Feb?"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves

i don't know is what the whole sentence's supposed to mean
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell misterE you musta misclicked something,
i see it ?
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell cads: "they started a tv channel a couple years ago, and were acquired for 20 mil by a holding company that same year."
i think you don't fully appreciate the impact of tax optimization on all these deals.
Diablo-D3:
I bet its just dating that is without all the social rigamarole
jcpham:
i lost all of my bitcoins to scams, anyways
jcpham: kakobrekla is it more or less deceptive if
I just made that up
jcpham:
i name my wallet backups porno.avi
Jere_Jones: Of course, *now*
I would do things differently.
Jere_Jones: Also, don't lose the keys. At the time,
I didn't see any real value in the wot and thus treated my keys as disposable.
Jere_Jones: It is the age of the nick that
I would like to preserve and the nick itself because that it is what
I use everywhere.
KRS-One: wow
i thought they had a perm option
Jere_Jones: Is there any way to reclaim my nick in WOT if
I lost the key or am
I just SOL? (yeah,
I know
I shouldn't have lost the key in the first place)
ThickAsThieves: CBTC added all the unsold shares to the market so HL would display the cap "properly", not bad
i guess, but now people have to worry whether they are sold on the sly
ThickAsThieves:
i'm finally eligible for "Hero" on the forums, but my activity is not high enough

nubbins`: "
i can't comment on whether or not we're insolvent, that's confidential"
nubbins`: less entertaining than it once was.
i think she's getting tired
gx:
i can only hope that someday our offices for coinigy are 1/2 as cool looking
nubbins`: for some reason
i pictured it as being landlocked
nubbins`: absent cads:
i had a tenant who was an adult male brony, also 80% sure he was a pedophile
benkay:
i kinda think fuck single page javascript apps
benkay: praying for a successful pivot,
i warrant.
benkay: in other news
i offered a startup against whose api
i'm working a deal on some documentation
jurov: no you spelled that correctly afaik.
i was referring to content, it was very lulzy
Vexual: jj you often seem to correct my spelling when im tipsy, which
i like
Vexual: hey jurov, did
i spell orchestrated incorrectly? ;)
Vexual:
i think
i can guess the mad genius that orchestrated that
Diablo-D3: and
I have a 5 digit slashdot UID,

MisterE:
I think he learned his lesson he posted a mea culpa
MisterE:

Duffer1:
i don't believe that will end well for them, but
i'm not creative enough to figure it out either so who am
i to say
Duffer1: it has intrinsic flaws that make me not read the comments, but
i still browse daily for headlines
cads: so they eat about a million of each year and there's really no way
I can see for them to make money
cads:
I should just smartly recognize that it's just as trivial as the old math, and solve it just as easily in one stroke
Mats_cd03:
i have $60 in digital ocean credit so its all good
cads: blah
I hate how easy hard math turns out to be after a couple years of study. That makes you feel like you were an idiot 2 years ago.
Mats_cd03:
i wouldnt mind running a node if
i knew what
i was contributing
Mats_cd03:
i wonder how much bandwidth the network consumes
jurov: that's all
i need to know

i suspect it's one of those things like wearing condoms
jurov: also,
i do run misc p2p stuff and even with 60mbit uplink on my home connection
i get annoying dns resolving problems occassionally
cads: to them they don't even notice if
I get slashdotted. For me it might take me out of business for a day.
cads: if
I was making a revenue stream the latter sounds ideal, but of course
I understand that my revenue stream would be even _bigger_ if
I syndicate my content with youtube.
cads:
I mean, stupid shit like this live actions reenactment that got umpteen million views and pays the living wages of some internet famous douchebags, while putting 80% of the revenue into the coffers of youtube.
cads:
I don't think it makes sense to pretend youtube does anything other than make money off of other people's (chumps) content
cads:
I mean, youtube was acquired in 06 for 1.5 $bn of google stock. In the mean time google has grown to from 400 to 1200 a share. Suppose youtube grew proportionally with that and it's valued at $6bn. However youtube has grown far beyond what most people imagined. A 2012 boast from google values youtube at around $56bn.
